Château Fontanche Saint-Chinian Les Uyères 2022
A terrific and sturdy red from the South of France. The 2022 vintage shows well here for its presence and power.
Located at the foothills of the Cevennes mountains, St. Chinian is one of the most prestigious appellations in the Languedoc. This handcrafted cuvee Les Uyeres is made from 60-year-old vines by eco-friendly winemaker, Gilles Cantons. The wine is complex, spicy and mineral, with aromas of ripe red fruits, licorice, and garrigue spices. On the palate, it is fruity, spicy, and bold, with a long well-structured finish. Drink over the next 5 years with meats, cheeses, or hearty dishes.
A sunny wine from a sunny clime! Aromas of red fruit, spice and hints of liquorice, lead to a full-fruited palate of red and dark fruits, spice, nice soft tannins and a lovely finish.
From the southern French region of Saint-Chinian in Languedoc-Roussillon, this is a red wine with depth and complex black fruits. Made from 60-year-old vines, this is a wine that speaks to Old World terroir and classic French style.
